IMPORTANT: This additional timeout extension represents a net addition to the time
it takes for the cluster to re-form. For example, if the cluster typically took 40 seconds
to re-form before any VM nodes were added, it will take about 80 seconds when one
or more VM nodes are members of the cluster, if all those nodes have a VM guest depot.
If any VM node without a VM guest depot is a member of the cluster, it will take about
110 seconds. This is true whenever VM nodes are cluster members, whether or not the
re-formation is caused by the failure of a VM node.

Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration at http://docs.hp.com ->

Machines.
Access changes as of A.11.16
Serviceguard version A.11.16 introduced a new access method. As of A.11.16,
Serviceguard uses Access Control Policies, also known as Role-Based Access, rather
than cmclnodelist or .rhosts, to authenticate users.
For more information about Access Control Policies, see Chapter 5 of the Managing
Serviceguard manual, the Serviceguard Manager help, and the cluster and package
configuration files themselves.
Considerations when Upgrading Serviceguard
• .rhosts
If you relied on .rhosts for access in the previous version of the cluster, you
must now configure Access Control Policies for the cluster users. For instructions
on how to proceed, see the subsection “Allowing Root Access to an Unconfigured
Node” under “Configuring Root-Level Access” in Chapter 5 of the Managing
Serviceguard manual.
• cmclnodelist
When you upgrade from an earlier version, Serviceguard converts cmclnodelist
entries into new entries written into the cluster configuration file during the
upgrade, as follows:
USER_NAME <user_name>
USER_HOST <host_node>
USER_ROLE Monitor
A wildcard + (plus) is converted as follows:
USER_NAME ANY_USER
USER_HOST ANY_SERVICEGUARD_NODE
USER_ROLE Monitor
